`DetectChanges::is_changed_after` (#23149)
# Objective
Make it easier to compare ticks between `Ref`s.
The pattern used in #23106 to compare changed ticks seems very powerful!
But the second `Tick` parameter in `Tick::is_newer_than` makes it
awkward to use, and requires the developer know about the
`SystemChangeTick` system parameter. Which is silly, because the `Ref`
*already has* those ticks.
## Solution
Introduce `DetectChanges::is_changed_after`,
`DetectChanges::is_added_after`, and `SpawnDetails::is_spawned_after`
methods. These call `Tick::is_newer_than` on the appropriate tick, using
the `last_run` tick that is already stored.
## Showcase
```diff
- if transform
- .last_changed()
- .is_newer_than(previous.last_changed(), system_change_tick.this_run())
- {
+ if transform.is_changed_after(previous.last_changed()) {
``` C
